Most of the following interview deals with Ronan's latest movie, the directors she's worked with, and the projects she has coming up in the future -- but good 'ol Frosty drops in a couple of comic book movie questions around the 9:20 point. When asked if she'd have any interest in starring in a superhero flick, Ronan says she'd "love to, absolutely love to" and says she enjoyed getting a small taste of that world with Hanna. But when she's asked outright if she actually went in and read for Joss Whedon's Avengers: Age Of Ultron she simply says "well I'm not doing The Avengers", before dismissing it as "online stuff" with a smile. But I dunno, something about the way she answers makes me think she might well have went in for a chat. What do you think?

@Levi: Love the sarcasm bro lol she would bring down the quality of the Spider-Man franchise as a whole.

In all seriousness, I would greatly prefer her not to be in a CBM simply cause she doesn't have the acting chops to pull it off and her in action movie (Hanna) already proved to be literally unbelievable. But, to please fanboys. Maybe she can play Mera in an Aquaman movie that is directed by Aquaman. It'll give them some use. It's actually not a bad idea, I just wouldn't have any interest in it.

@Reasonnnn: if she were to become Black Widow or be part of the MCU in any way, shape or form. That lowers the quality of the universe and would bring an end to it in my opinion. She doesn't make a believable action star, that's one of the problems with her playing any sort of superhero.

I loved Hanna, just saying. Now, mainstream comic book star is something different. I like Saoirse, but not sure what role she might fit. Supergirl crosses my mind, but she doesn't seem right for that.
